Mate I love the country view in the 3rd photo. I'd love a house sitting there and looking at those views all day. I'd never get sick of it.

Yes Cliff there are many great views in the area unfortunately getting access is difficult. All 3 photos were taken from the one spot. (1) straight up to the Blitz about 80m up. (2)around the contour. (3) straight down.

Here is a better view of the Blitz but the thistles detract from the view and are hell to walk through. I need one of these to ride.

Looks like a bad infestation of Scotch Thistles

The scotch thistles are here too , but I don't use a Blitz to kill them. The roadside weed sprayers here use modern junk ( vehicles ) and a pink coloured spray .

Mike they are safron thistles and I'm not spraying them, I'm chasing briars and blackberries.

Cliff instead of the view of the swamp would you prefer the view from the top of the hill in the other direction
